Language / Polish - Absolute Beginner Questions. Study plan. [75]

I'm using this range of books (with a teacher) and like them very much

My husband, on the other hand, prefers to focus much more on listening

Yeah, the most important thing in learning anything is to have fun with it!

I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. In my opinion methods of learning all foreign languages are the same. I don't think that every single language or language family require different method.

Of course grammar is important but not for beginners. For beginners is important everyday listen to a lot of target language.

And Polish is not English - some things will never be picked up naturally or it might last ages! It's better to rationalize the fact that we need to conjugate verbs then try to find this out from context.

Let me be clear, I think grammar is not very important for beginners. I think when you speak, you have to do it automaticly rather then looking for grammar. Trying memorizing grammar rules (don't forget about exceptions!) don't work in learning any language. You don't learn speaking by studying grammar.

I don't think that Polish is so hard language to learn, it is superstition. I'm native Polish speaker, and I supose that we really want the foreigners to think so.

What are you have to do is listen to Polish everyday a least one hour. Easy stories for children are very good for beginners. When you start understand more you can take something for teenagers. Listening and reading are the best way to learn any language. Trying to memorizing grammar rules is the worst thing you can do. If I've done any English mistakes - I'm sorry about that. But I'm Polish native and I've learned English for one year. My method was (and still is) listen to English every day. I never learn grammar! Now I can communicate in English pretty well. If you want to get this same level in Polish, just do this same! ;)
